It is a matter of belief, or faith if you prefer. I asked a person who had studied these things for many years and I heard that those prophecies had already been fulfilled years ago. I also asked about the "rapture" to people who believe in in it, and they were also equally convinced of their beliefs. So, you believe one thing and others believe something else. Some don't believe that those prophecies already happened but also don't believe in the "rapture".
It is a matter of what or who we choose to believe. Some people need prophecies like those, other don't. I don't.
For those who believe, it is great that they know the future. I hardly know the past or even the present. For me, the best thing is that past, present and future are in God's hands. I have seen too many fights on hair-splitting doctrines that cannot be proved, and the "rapture" is only one of many doctrines of men whose interpretations are fallible. I will also add that the "no rapture" doctrine falls under the same category.
